Dinosaur Ridge

Did you know that Colorado is home to the BEST dinosaur track site in the entire country?

A site where you can see where raptors, therapods, and giant sauropods left their mark on the prehistoric landscape millions of years ago. A site where you can touch real dinosaur bones both in situ and in the museum. A site with stunning views over the rocky Colorado landscape. Sign me up, please!

Recently I visited Dinosaur Ridge to check out the dinosaur tracks and prehistoric fossils, and today I'm sharing it all with you.

Located in Morrison, just 20 minutes west of Denver, Dinosaur Ridge is a must see for Colorado families and visitors alike, especially if you love dinosaurs. And let's face it, don't we all?

Meow Wolf: House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe

If you're following along on Instagram, you'll know that we recently visited the original Meow Wolf location in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I'm a huge fan of immersive art, and Meow Wolf is one of our absolute favorite places to immersive ourselves in a world of wonder, creativity and imagination. 

We've been lucky enough to visit three Meow Wolf locations (in Denver, Santa Fe and Las Vegas) over the years, and each time it really has felt like stepping through a portal into a whole new world. A world where nothing makes sense, yet somehow all makes sense at the same time. 

Today I'm sharing more of our visit here on the blog. Prepare for LOTS of photos! You may notice that there are a few photos where the kids look younger. That's because I've also included a few from our earlier visit back in 2022. It's crazy how much they've changed in just four years!

Let's take a look at Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return...

Chautauqua Park Bears 2026

The bears are back in Boulder’s Chautauqua Park!

Every year, Chautauqua Park is home to a series of painted bear sculptures created by local artists as part of an annual fundraiser, and as a way to add a little color to Winter.

This year’s event features twelve large bear sculptures (40” tall) and fifteen miniature bear sculptures (14” tall). Unlike in previous years when the bears were dotted around Chautauqua Park in a treasure hunt, most of the large bears can all be found in Centennial Park on Morning Glory Drive. Two of the large bears can be found inside the lobby of the Academic Hall building, just across the road from Centennial Park. You’ll also find two of the small bears on display here, while one is displayed in the General Store on Clematis Drive, and the remaining bears can be found in the Community House, also on Morning Glory Drive.

Check out all the bears below, and if you’re interested in taking one home, make sure to read on for details of the auction.
